Why 1.8 more Expensive than 2.0?
-
Please pardon my ignorance and offer me a lesson here.
My question is: Why is a Volkswagen PASSAT 1.8 (A) priced at S$127 K and a 2.0 (A) priced at S$ 92K?
The 1.8 A's engine capacity is 1781 cc and the 2.0A engine capacity is 1984 cc.
I thought the rule of thumb is the price is directly proportional to the engine capacity.
Exprts out there, please advise. -
other stuff like equipment levels matter too.
correct me if im wrong... but audi 1.8s r normally turbo-ed... while the 2.0 is NA... and the 1.8 has a higher power output
-
i think the Passat 1.8l is a Turbo version, 1.8T, while the 2l is a normal 2.0 litre engine.
hence the difference in the car prices

Passat 2.0 = 170 bhp -
Follow up is to why they turbo charge the smaller capacity one.

Are you sure? I think the Passat 1.8T is at 150bhp and Passat 2.0 is at 115bhp if you are talking about the current model. The Passat 2.0 is running on an 8V in line four engine with only 172Nm of torque and 210Nm for the 1.8T. If you are talking about 170bhp for the 2.0FSI which is the new engine for the Passat, I might just believe.Originally posted by sunnyMAN:Passat 1.8T = 210bhp

If price is directly proportional to engine capacity, I will be first to buy the RX8.Originally posted by singcarpour:Please pardon my ignorance and offer me a lesson here.

The reason why the Passat 2.0 is cheaper than the 1.8T is because it has a totally different engine(4speed gearbox for 2.0 and 5speed gearbox for 1.8T), lacks the turbo and much more gadgets and accessories. Here are the specs for the 2.0 version.
Model: Volkswagen Passat 2.0
Engine: 1,984cc 8V in-line four
Max Power: 115bhp at 5,400rpm
Max Torque: 172Nm at 3,500rpm
Gearbox: 4-speed automatic
Top Speed: 193km/h
0-100 km/h: 12.4 seconds
As you can see that the price is 92k, the Passat 2.0 is targetted at the Japanese large car segment which include cars such as Camry, Accord, Cefiro and etc. Whereas, the 1.8T is about 130k and targetted at cars such as the S60, 9-3 and so on. -
So how is this VW PASSAT 2.0A compared to Camry and Cefiro??
In terms of
1) fuel consumption
2) engine power
2) space and comfort
3)exterior design -

I was refering to the torque
1.8T = 170Nm
2.0 = 210 Nm
